AU campus with 150 drone picture

CELEBRATING 150 YEARS

Hundreds of our University community, both staff and students came together to create drone footage to mark our 150th anniversary.

Hear from some of those who took part.

  • It was great being part of the picture. Everyone shared their love for the University and their different memories. I’m confident that the University will continue to provide special opportunities for its students in Wales and globally.

    Gwenda Sippings (Old Students’ Association)
  • We did have a few sleepless nights worrying about the weather, who would turn up. But as always, staff not only want to support but want to play an active role in celebrating Abers longevity and appreciate the role it plays supporting the community.
